Cyclists, editors, and technology experts from all over the world are saying great things about What to Wear Cycling, including (to name a few) Road.cc, London Cyclist, SELF Magazine, The Washing Machine Post, Elcyclista, GearCaster, Tap! Magazine, Cyclepresse, Gelegenheitsradler, Sportive Cyclist, and Global Cycling Network!
What to Wear Cycling is the only way to find out what to wear when you ride. Anytime. Anywhere. Why get 30 minutes into a ride before wishing you had sleeves (or wishing you could ditch the jacket)? Get the info before you get on the bike, using the best local weather info, along with the best cycling clothing calculations. Then, get dressed and get on your bike!
WEATHER WHERE YOU ARE (OR WHERE YOU ARENT)
Getting dressed at the base of Tourmalet? In your own house? On a cycling vacation? Checking a location youre visiting tomorrow? Maybe youre checking a location thats being ridden in the Tour right now? What to Wear Cycling will sort out what you should wear, wherever you are, or wherever you arent. Riding now? Riding tomorrow? Weve got you covered. Or uncovered, as it were.
CONDITIONS DETERMINED BY YOU
Curious what to wear in a specific temperature range? What to Wear Cycling can do that, too. Standing in the fitting room of your favorite shop in thermal bib tights? Find out what needs to happen outside in order to wear them on the bike. Considering a ride in conditions that are vastly different from whats happening today or tomorrow? Throw some conditions at What to Wear Cycling and find out what youll need. No wireless connection? Enter conditions yourself, and were still there for you. And everything is always based on your personal settings, of course.
SETTINGS FOR YOUR COMFORT
Roasting on a ride while your friends are chilly? Still cold when everyone else unzips their jerseys? What to Wear Cycling allows you to tailor settings to your personal level of comfort. Move the comfort slider to the right if you generally run hot. Slide it left if you tend to be cooler. What to Wear Cycling will calculate what your ideal clothing should be, all based on your level of comfort.
SHARE WITH THE PELOTON
"What are you wearing?" isnt the most elegant question to ask your fellow cyclists. Let What to Wear Cycling tell them. With a tap, the whole peloton can get advice on what to wear on todays ride, tomorrows ride, or a ride with whatever conditions your choose. Friends dont let friends freeze (or cook).
SAVE YOUR FAVORITE LOCATIONS
Got a place you like to ride that isnt where you currently are located? A nearby mountain? A coastal road? Maybe its a mountain in Italy. Save the location, and choose it from your Favorites to find out what to wear there. When you first load the app, some great defaults are already included, like Deinze, Belgium, where Merckx trained, and Huez, France, where cyclists suffer every summer. Add and delete as often as you like.
UNITS FOR EVERYONE
Some of us like our wind speed in kilometers per hour. Others like miles per hour. Prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius? Think freezing means 0 degrees? What to Wear Cycling will let you use what works for you. And youll ride comfortably no matter what.
Latest reviews of What to Wear Cycling app for iPhone and iPad
Its always spot on and I always trust its recommendations. I wouldnt say its worth it if you live in a place thats always warm. But in a place where the weather fluctuates daily, its incredibly useful and worth the $ to buy it. Its definitely a necessity for all cyclists!
I use it nearly every time I ride in the winter.
Cleanly designed app with nice features like customizing your personal settings...I tend to be pretty cold in sub-50 degree weather so I move that slider toward the snowflake and its now pretty much spot on. Also, saving different locations is nice if you are about to travel to your riding start.
Extremely helpful when Im biking and dont have time to determine what to wear. Great job!
Ive used this often this winter and have found it fairly accurate and useful.
